The water dispenser at work. Have I ever tried the hot water spigot? Of course not. For some reason, for 2 years, I thought it probably doesn’t work. Until I saw my coworker make his ginger tea the other day. I’m such a dweeb.
Another coworker came into the office this morning and suggested we have a tea party. (I’m like, “Girl, you don’t even know!” YESSSSS!) She displayed 4 different teabags, all with ginger and this was my choice.
A big ol’ doozy of spicy-rooty tea. Licorice root lends sweetness. The orange and lemon peels/essential oils really brighten up the taste without overpowering the tea’s namesake. Lemongrass serves as a soft bridge between the high, zesty citrus notes and the low, earthy roots. The licorice root and citrus flavors become more agreeable and harmonious as the tea cools — licorice root is at best tolerable for me and I don’t often enjoy the combination of citrus and ginger in tea.
I put the empty envelope in my inner jacket pocket to remind me to log this and I got whiffs of rooty spice from under my jacket all day.
I happen to love turmeric. If you like it but don’t like the heat of a megadose of ginger, you best avoid this warmer. If you like a little burn, I say go for this one. It’s megafresh.

It’s great that you have a tea-loving coworker! This sounds like a nice tea, though I don’t like licorice either.
It’s such a joy to find other tea drinkers! Especially with her, since I will soon be working in an office right behind where she works. I got a promotion yesterday and my new space will be behind closed doors with a large desk. Plenty of room to keep a kettle and a variety of tea and teaware. I can’t wait to be able to brew at my desk and have teatime with little cups of tea shared with coworkers!
I don’t care for licorice but it’s a good proportion that gives some sweetness and body rather than being overdone and hanging out all sickly like on the tongue.
Congratulations on your promotion! It’s great that you’ll have your own space to make tea as well as someone to drink it with.
Congrats on that promotion! Happy for you!
Congratulations on promotion! Hopefully I will get my first job soon and if so… I would get quite a nice tea enviroment as well. Soon it will be time to buy my first teapot for that.
Thanks y’all! I’m really excited for this opportunity.
Martin: I’m wishing the best for your job search!
How exciting! I am buzzing with happiness for you! <3
Thank you :)
Desks were meant to keep tea on, and fellow work tea-ists, even the less informed ones, are a blessing! Hope the job change is a good one.
Congrats on your promotion. And a private tea space is indeed a blessing. My tea drinking at work experience improved once I moved out of the cubicle farm :-)
Congrats on the move upwards, derk!
Thank you :)
I reviewed this tea for itsallabouttheleaf.com, which disappeared long, long ago. I think my primary observation was, “Ooh, the ginger! Save this for your next sinus blockage.”
